Really bad day

So recently I moved from IL to CT and I started my new school today. I don't know why, I became really anxious before going. It was like very intense anticipation anxiety. I think I might just have been excited, but I noticed myself being anxious and I really freaked out. I was getting really bad thoughts and thought that I might have a panic attack in class or something. I tried deep breathing and relaxation and it helped but I would be anxious on and off. I met a bunch of people from my new class and they were all so nice and they made me feel comfortable, but I was fearing that I might become anxious and/or have a panic attack. I was tense the whole time I was in class and it made it a really miserable experience. I just got home and now I'm really sad b/c I don't know what's going on. Any advice?

aww hunny, you were doing so well..i think maybe you are just nervous because you like these new people and your scared that you are going to scare them away..maybe if you explain things to them and maybe then you won't be so tense..hope this helps

I hope that's the case! I was so happy about my progress, I was overcoming my agoraphobia and then this happened. Thank you all for advice. I will definietely try the school thing, but I am scared that if the anxiety, in school, continues I won't be able to do it. Today really sux :(
